Sunburst - Eddie Henderson

Left with a black eye That was the worst I've felt In a long, long time I caught a red eye Back to the West side In the Tobacco Sunburst sky Looked in those brown eyes I thought I found myself Damn, it's been a while Looking in your blue eyes Never knew I'd lose myself In the Tobacco Sunburst sky, I I I Oh, I I'll turn a blind eye Looking on the bright side now Hell, I'll give it a try Looking in your green eyes Never knew I'd need your help I don't wanna wait any more time (any more time) Sick of watchin' those flames burn bright (burn bright) I don't wanna wait any more time (any more time) Sick of watchin' those days roll on by

The crowd without a face Begins to fill the space in the arena Flashlights at his feet The lion from the street awaits the Christians A blinding flash of light A single strobe ignites the night The smoke begins to rise A sea of starin' eyes gaze on the sunburst His weapon at his side He flashes it with pride before his legions Fires begin to rage And they engulf the stage, alright Bring on the night He's in complete control He's stepping proud and bold And everything he touches turns to gold He's got girls by the score He's got 'em screaming for more But when they get too close, he bars the door He bars the door He makes his great escape Leaves them in his wake without a warning The ritual is done A night, no longer young, fades into morning The sun begins to rise As he begins to close his eyes

I'll stop talking to you And watching everything you do And I'll take all my proud down south Home to mummy and daddy Instead of crying in taxis I'll be crying while the TV's loud I will sell all the clothes That you took off my body But right now they're in a bag in my house I can't get rid of you as much as I try to You're like this growing never dreading doubt Maybe in the morning I'll be better (oh) Once I sweat you out (oh) Like it was just a fever (oh) But you intoxicate me (oh) Complicate the way I sleep at night (oh) It wasn't what I wanted baby (oh) It was better (oh) But whatever Whatever I won't take too much Just a momentary touch As we pass each other on the street You will whisper to your friends Not to come here again 'Cause I make it so awkward when we meet I'll keep trying my best Not to draw your attention But I like it when you're looking at me I can't help that I'm obsessive And still a bit possessive Over all the parts of your body Maybe in the morning I'll be better (oh, I'll be better) Once I sweat you out (oh) Like it was just a fever (oh) But you intoxicate me (oh) Complicate the way I sleep at night (oh) Is wasn't what I wanted, baby (oh) It was better (oh) But whatever (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) Whatever (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) Whatever (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) It wasn't what I wanted, baby (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) It was better (la-la-la-la-la) You might say that you did me a favor And you now go and say That you "didn't have to save her" But I never asked you to So you are still the baggage That I carry around Slowly weighting me down As i ask myself "Where are you now?" When I'm lying under my rebound I still here the sound Of this voice in my head saying "Don't look now, he's across the street" And the sky fell down on that concrete And I unwound as you denounce Any love you ever had for me Maybe in the morning I'll be better (oh, I'll be better) Once I sweat you out (oh) Like it was just a fever (oh) But you intoxicate me (oh) Complicate the way I sleep at night (oh) It wasn't what I wanted, baby (oh) It was better But whatever (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) Whatever (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) Whatever (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) It wasn't what I wanted, baby (la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) It was better (la-la-la-la-la) Whatever

You think you're missed Well let me tell you this The love I felt for you Has flown away... And now you see What have you done to me So all I can ask is why, why You made us feel like one I should've known that you were wrong Oh yeah, you did it on your own Now you got to go Oh no, I won't let you get me down You tried to hurt my feelings You stopped me dreaming But here I draw the line I wish you luck in life and goodbye You let me think That you were so so true Lows, lies, truth can't lie You wanted to go From a high straight down to a low But all the excuses here The reasons they're, they're everywhere Chasing rainbows can be fun Been chasing you for so long Oh yeah, you did it on your own Now you got to go Oh no, I won't let you get me down You tried to hurt my feelings You stopped me dreaming But here I draw the line I wish you luck in life and goodbye

Too thin, too smart Monday, don't fit in my jeans, stretch marks Dark circles under my eyes But no one wants to hear about that I'm sick of putting labels on myself Trying to fit in, trying to act like I'm somebody else I'm taking all this pressure off myself And I'm gon' say something for me, that's real It's okay to be lost, to feel lonely Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly But those days, they remind me that I'm human So go ahead and rip, tear me apart 'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws If the scars on my skin make me ugly Then let's get ugly I know what they want Bright lights, highlighter, contour on Too scared to be vulnerable But when did we become afraid of that? I'm tired of all the pretty little lies Don't need a thousand likes To know that we're still beautiful inside It's time to have the time of our lives And say something real It's okay to be lost, to feel lonely Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly But those days, they remind me that I'm human So go ahead and rip, tear me apart 'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws If the scars on my skin make me ugly Then let's get ugly I'm a recipe for disaster Or I could be the recipe for The happiest ever after, oh-oh I'm a recipe for disaster Or I could be the recipe for The happiest ever after, oh-oh It's okay to be lost, to feel lonely Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly But those days, they remind me that I'm human So go ahead and rip, tear me apart 'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws If the scars on my skin make me ugly Then let's get ugly Ooh-ooh-ooh Let's get ugly Ooh-ooh-ooh Hmm-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ugly
